Based on seasons 18-26
A FF team has not placed 10th
A MM team has not placed 3rd

5,6,10,11 slots in the intro never had a winner.
Season 26 intro gave us the elimination from 5th to 1st.

Not so interesting fact:

The Amazing Race is a TV show with most facepalms made, by racers. Other shows is too few. TAR has roughly 200-400 facepalms seen in all TAR seasons. :lol:

I may be wrong.  :)

1. As of TAR27 Leg 4, all countries starting with the letter Z (Zambia and Zimbabwe) have been visited in the US version! This is the 2nd letter where all countries have been visited, after the letter O, which only had 1 country, Oman. :cheer:

Just 1 more for the following letters...

F - Fiji (Finland and France visited)
J - Jordan (Jamaica and Japan visited)
Q - Qatar (There are no other countries starting with Q. Q is one of 2 letters which 0% of countries have been visited.)
R - Rwanda (Russia and Romania visited)
Y - Yemen (There are no other countries starting with Y. Yemen is just too dangerous to be visited.)


2. If you arrange all UN member states in alphabetical order, the first 6 countries have yet to be visited in the US version. They are Afghanistan (0% chance), Albania, Algeria (nearly 0% chance), Andorra, Angola and Antigua and Barbuda. Of all countries visited, Argentina is the first.

TAR U.S. only
A successful U-Turn (U-Turning a team behind you) will eliminate a team on Legs 1, 4, 9, and 10.

In the US Version, Season 27 marks only the 2nd time that 6 Teams made it to Leg 9, and held the 6th Place Elimination.

The only other Seasons to have 6 Teams reach Leg 9 are TAR Aus 2, & Asia 2 (Although I don't really count this as their were 13 Legs)

TAR Aus 2 is also the only Season to have 7 Teams Race in Leg 8.

I actually love the fact that these seasons have more teams that late in the race. :conf: TAR should do this more often. :hoot:

Both TAR Aus 2 & Asia 2 had Final 3 Combination of 2 M/M & 1 F/F, and the MM dominant teams (Paul & Steve, Marc & Rovilson) not win a race
No season ever in all franchises has had Final 3 Combination of 2 F/F & 1 M/M, it would almost occur in TAR Asia 4 if Sunaina & Dimple didn't lose a navigation in leg 8, in this case Hussein & Natasha ousted in Australia, then Ethan & Khaire went home in Indonesia, F3 cointained Richards, and two among of Claire & Michelle, Jess & Lani or Dimple & Sunaina

Um, I think you have some figures backwards there, toanglobal... Adrian & Collin and Shane & Andrew aren't females.

That was the first time it happened, and I actually like TAR18 for that! :conf:

I need a 3rd time for phenomena like this. :hoot:

This is off-topic but I actually appreciate less teams later on in the Race especially in regards to modern TAR editing :x

This is to help really sell the teams in it, there's a reason why the TAR25/TAR22 Final Five is one of my favorites ever!

Claire & Michelle is the only all females team so far who never checked in pitstop or finish line at either last place or first place in a season (Asia 4)
